Meyers achieves net zero operational emissions

Meyers has completed its first year achieving net zero emissions for operational carbon output. This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability, setting a benchmark for the packaging industry and delivering value to environmentally conscious clients.

Meyers continues to minimize its environmental footprint by reducing energy consumption, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and incorporating sustainable materials.

‘Our mission at Meyers extends beyond creating exceptional products— we aim to protect the planet and support a sustainable future,’ said Christopher Dillon, CEO of Meyers. ‘Achieving net zero in our operations is a significant milestone, and we are committed to building on this progress as we move forward.’

Meyers’ sustainability efforts include a Phase 1 solar array featuring 128 roof-mounted panels that generate approximately 58,000 kWh of clean energy annually, reducing CO2 emissions by nearly 90,000 pounds annually.

The company’s zero-waste-to-landfill status demonstrates its innovative approach to waste management, combining recycling and waste-to-energy initiatives.

In 2023, these initiatives diverted 3,095 cubic yards of waste from landfills, preventing over 3,000 tons of CO2 emissions, conserving 5.7 million gallons of water, and saving nearly 14,000 trees.

Meyers offers a diverse range of eco-friendly packaging materials to support further its clients' sustainability goals, including FSC- and SFI-certified options, recycled content, unbleached paper, and labels made from renewable sources.

‘As a sustainability leader, we’re proud to partner with some of the world’s most recognized brands to drive meaningful progress toward sustainability,’ added Dillon. ‘By achieving carbon neutrality in our operations, we’re paving the way for a greener, more sustainable future.’
